Jesy Nelson has issued an emotional plea ahead of a parliamentary debate on newborn screening for spinal muscular atrophy.
The former Little Mix singer, 35, revealed in January her twin daughters, Ocean and Story, both aged 13 months, had been diagnosed with SMA Type 1, a rare genetic condition that causes progressive muscle weakness and she has since become one of the most prominent campaigners calling for routine newborn screening for the condition across England.
